interactive sessions conducted at the beginning of academic year. These are also
disseminated to all stake holders.
STAKEHOLDERS
Student: As prospective products of the program the final year students represent an
important constituent. They take part in the assessment of courses and extend their
valuable input for course and curriculum improvements. They also provide inputs
through exit surveys, conducted at the time of graduation, which help the program, assess
its program outcomes and indirectly the program educational objectives.
Alumni: Alumni are the products of the department and represent the success of the
program. Their input concerning the Program Educational Objectives is sought via
surveys.
Employer: Employers of graduates are essential in providing input regarding the skills
our students must possess to be employed. Industry representatives who are the
immediate supervisors to our alumni extend memory feedback concerning Program
Educational Objectives. Their guidance helps us determine if the graduates of the
program will fit the needs of business and industry.
Faculty: The faculty delivers the undergraduate curriculum. Their responsibility is to
ensure that the curriculum is updated to reflect changing technologies and the skills
expected of our graduates. During the faculty meetings, a broad range of issues regarding
the Educational Objectives, Program Outcomes, and Course outcomes of the
undergraduate curriculum are discussed. They also provide the inputs to the PAC about
the attainment levels of POs related to the courses they handle. This attainment is
calculated by the faculty through direct methods like assignments and indirect methods.
Industry: The members of industry provide necessary inputs for improving the quality of
the programmes of the department. They extend their requirements as inputs to the PAC
for defining the Vision, Mission, PEOs and POs of the department.
Academicians & Professional Body: Academicians from various institutes, universities
and professional body like IETE, play important role in providing platforms for all the
budding engineers to share their knowledge and update regularly the advancements in the
field of Electronics and Communication Engineering.

NRI Institute of Technology Page 12

Electronics and Communication Engineering Self Assessment Report

The department also has membership with IETE and conducts various technical
events. The advices and suggestions provided by these Academicians will be considered
as valuable inputs for the preparation of vision and mission of the department and also
PEOs.

Parents: Feed backs from parents will be considered for the development of the
department and its vision, mission and PEOs. The suggestion from the parents will be
taken by the PAC.

Management: Management will give all the necessary facilities for the department for
developing the department to be potential in the institute. The management will conduct
meetings with the HOD of various department members and suggests them to develop the
vision and mission to be in-line with institute.

The suggestions from all the stake holders mentioned above will be considered for
the overall development of the department. The stake holders were divided in to two
categories as shown below. The inputs collected from the above stakeholders are
submitted to the PAC for discussion and defining the vision and mission of the
department.

1.3.C EXTENT OF AWARENESS OF VISION, MISSION & PEO’s AMONG 6

THE STAKEHOLDER

The Vision, Mission & PEO's of the department play a vital role to make stakeholders
understand the commitment of the department towards development of skilful students
who are competitive to pursue their goals after the completion of course and society
ready. The real time requirements for overall development of students and college are
brought to discussion in the meetings held with internal stake holders. The key
requirements are identified and brought to the notice of the external stake holders.
Meetings are conducted twice in a year with both the stake holders in the Department.
The outcomes of the discussions are implemented and results are observed and analyzed
at the end of each semester. The same is communicated to the stake holders based on
implementation and amendments. Awareness is created by circulating the vision, mission,
and PEO’s statements to all the stake holders. The PAC disseminates these statements to
the stake holders. The importance of the Vision and Mission statements are explained to
the Stake holders in every meeting and the fests held in the department. The Vision and
Mission of the department provides the goals of the department in the mere feature.
Stake holders are always asked to give suggestions on vision and mission statements for
further development of the department.
